The more time that goes by, it becomes more apparent that the Obama Administration is broken and needs to be replaced. Operation Fast & Furious, the non-terrorist status of terrorists, a porous border, class warfare, and continuing race-based issues are just a start on the long laundry list of administrative failures. Then there is a focus on the antics of the Secret Service, the GSA, and yes, even the President’s taking tax-payer funded world-wide shopping sprees & vacations. Let’s not mention (but will anyway) the President making his way around the late-night talk circuit…

Question for the masses: When was the last time a Republican President had this many failures, both professional or personal? Not within the last three, I would wager…

1. Unemployment after 4 years of Keynesian economics is still over 7%. If Americans are out of work so will be the President.

2. US debt is over 14 trillion dollars and counting. He tripled the debt. We had a party and our children will have to pay.

3. We are still fighting an undeclared war in the Middle East with American men and women on the ground taking casualties with no end in sight. This really upsets me. It is not Obama’s fault but America should only fight declared wars, because undeclared wars are a never ending battle.

4. The budget is not yet balanced and 60 percent of the money goes to entitlements.

5. Change did not come.

6. Obama looks exhausted. As a leader he physically looks like life is a chore. He looks too skinny and will lose some votes based on his look. I know it is superficial but people vote on this.

7. Inflation is picking up. He is allowing the currency to be inflated.

8. Health care is not fixed. Not his fault. The Republicans only allow a watered down version to get ,through. Yet on the other hand, my thinking is there are better ways to fix health care than the Obama plan, such as a negative income tax, free market and light regulation such as not allowing people to be dropped for pre-existing conditions.

9. The housing market is far from recovered.

10. China is rising faster than the USA.

11. US jobs are going overseas.

12. Pro family Americans question Obama’s core values.

13. He accepted the Nobel peace prize for nothing.

14. Still no real business experience, only an academic.

15. Liberals feel betrayed as he did not follow through with transforming America with a liberal vision. Too much compromise.

16. Increased taxes.

17. Half the country is conservative.

18. After the initial honeymoon with international leaders, the global community respects him only for his title rather than his ability to lead.

69. Majority of the polls currently show an Obama loss in the 2012 election.

70. Republicans learned from their mistakes and will not elect someone like McCain to represent them again. That is the four pillars of the republicans are: social and religious conservatives, fiscal conservatives, imperialists and war hawks and moderate Republicans who can cross party lines. McCain was a War hawk conservative with some social ideas. Not a combination needed during an economic crisis. You need a fiscal and religious conservative that appeals to moderates. Hawks do not swing elections unless there is a real Peal Harbor.

71. Exceptions were too high for the first term.

72. Stagflation.

73. Florida the key swing state demographically is changing more conservative. Whoever wins Florida will have a good chance at the White House in 2012.

74. Arizona, Texas, Utah, Georgia and South Carolina all Republican states picked up electorates.

75. Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York Pennsylvania all democratic states lost electorates.

76. It is showdown of Big Government vs the US citizens, I am pulling for the Americans.

77. Vegas and psychics and predictors of the sort are edging towards a Republican win.

78. Barack broke the promise of raising taxes for capital gains and dividends for the top percentage of wage earners.

79. Broken promise of double funding for after school programs.

80. Centralize lobbying and ethics reporting for US citizens to view, another broken promise.

81. Phase out exemptions for high earning tax payers. Another broken promise.

82. Repeal Bush tax cuts for the top earners, another Obama unfulfilled promise.

83. Obama promised to end income taxes for seniors making less than 50k. This was a huge issue in the sunbelt swing states, Obama did not do this.

84. A score of other broken promises too many to list. This does not help his credibility.

85. Is Obama Keynesian or Kenyan? To date there is still some confusion in some people’s minds.

86. Much of the Hollywood crowd that were his darlings in the 2008 Presidential elections are not as zealous in the 2012 Presidential elections.

87. Republicans have a real candidate in 2012.

88. Has an extreme anti-life voting record.

89. Obama is soft on crime.

90. Relief for the middle class never materialized and many stimulus injections of cash were temporary and favoring a few rather than the majority who will pay with taxes.

91. Obama wants a European style social economy which does not fit the American spirit. Obama is not a socialist, rather more follows the French economic model than the American.

92. Extension of Bush foreign policy, pax America. The sun never sets on the union jack (make the world England), I mean stars and bars.

93. Unemployment benefits have run out of federal money for chronically unemployed and people underemployed and out of work are looking for new ideas and answers rather than government money and temporary fixes.

94. Many good ideas proposed in 2008, but few implemented even with a Democratic majority in the congress. It is really hard to be Obama, as there is a lot of political infighting and most of the US money is being consumed my entitlement spending and a pittance is for these new interesting ideas.

95. Has done nothing to curb the close ties between the military business infrastructure and government spending.

96. Bailed out Wall Street not Main street. I thought he said things would be different. Most jobs are created by small companies, close to 70% as well as innovation, but the large dinosaurs got the funds.

97. Alex Conant, a GOP election campaign advisor said President Barack Obama cannot be a bipartisan candidate in 2012, like he was in the last election because American voters know him now as something different. He will lose many center and independent voters.

98. After 25 years of the Bush and Clinton dynasties, Americans have less tolerance for legacy candidates and more focused on results. That is just because they know someone, no longer is a good reason to reelect them.

99. Traditionally candidate who spend more money on election bids win. This is a reasonably strong correlation. For example, Democrats spent $956,049,411 in 2008 while the Republicans spent $792,186,627. This is contrast with 2004 where the Republicans spent $875,704,006 and the Democrats spent $710,416,993. It is not just that when a campaign has more money it is an indicator of real sentiment, but money and marketing does influence people. At this point Republicans have the momentum and mount an all out attempt to dethrone Obama in 2012 as they see it as an attempt to save the USA.

100. Crazy indicators that could mean nothing or something, such height of the Candidates, Obama being 6’1” would lose against Mit Romney at 6’4”. Many of the crazy indicators point to an Obama lose in 2012. Hair also counts, and Obama’s salt and pepper thin hair is no competition for the flowing hair of Sarah Palin’s for example.

101. I will not vote for him and I usually vote for winners (not always). I have an even better track record with predicting elections. Sometimes I am a sucker for lost causes.

ObamaCare, the “Stimulus” bill that hasn’t stimulated much except to stimulate our national debt up a few megabucks, this president’s total lack of pride in our nation (he has commented more than once that America can’t always be Number 1; what kind of a team player wants his team to be satisfied to shoot for mediocrity?), he has repeatedly demonstrated that he has no use whatsoever for the Constitution, he is anti-Second Amendment, he seems to be fighting tooth and nail to keep us energy independent upon OPEC and friends…

I could go on almost as far the compiler of the above list without losing momentum.

I hope he doesn’t let the door hit him where he does his thinking on the way out…

Griper – I agree that the President should not shoulder all the blame as Congress does write the laws. However, the President is supposed to be the leader of this country, and has performed poorly in my opinion.

Mrs. Wolf – Welcome!! I would only be too happy to personally hold the door open for him to leave the White House (and to make sure that he didn’t “borrow” something that he shouldn’t).

AOW – Common sense and reason certainly didn’t figure into Obama’s election to begin with. If anyone was awake and paying attention, the signs were there showing us exactly what kind of President Obama was going to be. A quick search of the posts that both of us were writing at the time of his campaign put us in a position of “I told you so!”, but that certainly isn’t doing us any good at the moment. The best we can do is to vote him out and hold the door open.

First, it’s good to see you back on the web. I have always enjoyed your insight and commentary and gald to have you back! Excellent list of the failures of Obama. I do a weekly Internet Radio Show and will be using some of them on this weeks show. There is only one positive accomplishment I will give Obama credit for. His Marxist policy and radical moves have awakened the people which has been needed for decades. Thanks to him people are actually paying attention and fulfilling the Constitutional responsibility of every citizen and that is to keep those we elect accountable to us.

Ken – Thank you for visiting. While I may not leave a comment, I have always enjoyed your posts as well. Please let us know what times your show is on and how we can listen in.

While Obama has made everyone more aware of the political arena, he has also increased the divisions within the country. Instead of being civil, I see more sniping and petty remarks. That is disturbing, to say the least.

The show airs weekly on Tuesdays and I post the podcast on my sight in the sidebar. This week though because of schedule conflicts we will not have a new one up until Thursday but otherwise a new show is up on my site every Tuesday. The Internet Radio Station I am involved with has had to end the live stram temporarily because LIVE365 was causing many problems. We have negotiated a new contract with another stream server and should be streaming live again later this month. I will let you know then when the stream and the live show will air.

Food for Thought

The purpose of the Constitution is to limit what the Government can do to the People, not what the People can do to the Government.

You make a conservative mad by telling them a lie. You make a progressive mad by telling them the truth.

What part of "shall not be infringed" do they not understand?

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
